We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage.

Vātsalyabhāva

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Swami Harshananda

Vātsalyabhāva is one of the several types of bhakti or devotion. It is the love of a devotee towards God and that of a mother towards her child. Yaśodā’s love for the child Kṛṣṇa and Kausalyā’s towards the child Rāma are classic examples of this sentiment. Rāmakṛṣṇa Paramahamsa[1] retained this attitude towards Mother Kālī till the end.
